Six Bryan parks to receive new playgrounds

Six of Bryan parks throughout the community are set to receive new or replacement playgrounds, after the Bryan City Council approved the purchase and installation of nearly $1 million worth of playgrounds at their April meeting.

The playgrounds are planned to be installed over the coming months in the following locations:

Austin’s Colony Park

A new play structure will replace the currently existing one that is used by both the community and school. The new structure is targeted at ages 2-12 and will include slides, landings, climbers and have a bonded shredded rubber mulch fall zone.
